Optician Index August 2014: August bounce

After the falls in the results we reported last month, August saw an improvement in all of our key performance indicators apart from turnover per eye examination. Most of the benchmarks for this month exceeded those recorded in August last year except sales volume of bi/trifocal lenses, number of eye examinations and total turnover. This month our analysis concentrates on total turnover and how it is affected by the number of eye examinations and the total number of spectacles dispensed. Next month we will review the third quarter’s results against the same period over the last two years and look at the impact on performance for the calendar year.
